    Anything new in Quickbase that would allow me to change column names on reports? If not, would love a few more details on the mirror fields you mentioned.

    Just a formula field equal to the original field.

    Brute force 1 by 1 for each field you need mirrored.

    I suggest sometimes do this if I need the same field to sometimes have decimals or no decimals.
